Overview

The Naeba Dragondola is Japan's longest gondola, connecting Naeba Ski Resort and the Tadai area of Kagura Ski Resort in Yuzawa-machi, Minamiuonuma-gun, Niigata Prefecture. At a length of 5,481 meters and with an elevation difference of approximately 800 meters, it whisks you to the top in about 25 minutes, offering expansive views of the Naeba Ski Resort, lush mountains, and even the Japan Sea on a clear day. A highlight is the ever-changing scenery throughout the year; vibrant greens in spring, fiery autumn foliage, and snowy landscapes in winter. The ride itself is a captivating experience, offering endless views to enjoy. The Naeba Dragondola is more than just transportation; it's a popular sightseeing spot allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the majestic natural beauty. From the summit station, you can even hike further to the very peak for truly panoramic, breathtaking 360-degree views! The Naeba Dragondola is recommended not only during the ski season, but also during the spring fresh green season and the autumn foliage season. The autumn foliage season in particular is a spectacle of color, with the mountains ablaze in reds and yellows. Why not experience the grandeur of nature aboard the Naeba Dragondola?
